One person was taken to the hospital after crashing into a snowplow in south Boulder County early this morning, according to the Colorado State Patrol.

According to a release, at 3:23 a.m., a 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer was southbound on Colo. 93 near Colo. 128 when it lost control and entered the northbound lane and collided with a Colorado Department of Transportation snowplow.

The driver of the SUV, Arthur Griffin, 48, was transported to a local hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. He was wearing his seat belt at the time of the crash, but was cited for careless driving. Investigators say excessive speeds for the roadway conditions may have been a contributing factor.

Griffin is a independently contracted driver who delivers the Denver Post and Daily Camera.

The driver of the snowplow -- which was not actively plowing during the crash -- was not injured.
